The list of failures in the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, is becoming legion. If any or all of those failures had been addressed, 17 students and teachers might be alive today.

Rebuttal to Cryptocurrency Causing a Dominant Percentage of Global Warming
Cryptocurrency is quickly becoming the next craze by the general populous.

Just days before Billy Graham died, I found myself at Mass at the tomb of Pope John XXIII, in St. Peter’s Basilica.
More Than a Motto
Nothing we do will ever bring back the 17 bright lights of Parkland. Children, coaches, lifetimes of promise — all lost, too soon. As parents, we’ve watched moms and dads in communities all across America experience an agony we can’t fathom. We’ve cried at the photos of smiling teenagers who will never have another school picture. And we wonder: When will we make it stop, or at least lessen?
Dereliction of Duty
There was shocking news Thursday night that it wasn’t the NRA that failed to protect students in Parkland, Florida. Government at all levels failed in its primary obligation — to keep citizens safe.

It’s a truism that if you want to know the agenda du jour of the Left, you just need to glance at the most important real estate in The New York Times. Take the business section over the last few days.
Gas Prices vs. Tax Cuts: How Trump Can Protect His Signature Achievement
During his short time in office, President Donald Trump has taken several steps that have generated robust economic growth, including signing historic tax cuts that have already led to bigger paychecks for American workers.

CNN’s Ambush
Wednesday night, under the guise of a town hall debate on gun policy and school safety, CNN ambushed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch. The crowd was obviously packed with gun control activists and the questions were scripted.
Sons of Guns: Violence Grows in the Void of Faith and Family
While Americans try to cope with the losses in Florida, they’re saying goodbye to someone else: America’s pastor, Billy Graham. Never has our nation so desperately needed to hear the message of hope and healing that the 99-year-old spent his life sharing. So surely it’s no earthly coincidence that even in Rev.
